as an American Citizen (I assume) you have to pay your share of whatever goes on in public spending. Iraq and Afghanistan war? Too bad, so sad you're paying for it like it or not. Social Security? Medicare? Medicaid? Yep that too.

Paying taxes for things you don't particularly like is the price of being a citizen of the United States. The price of freedom so to speak.

The oft repeated refrain of "Don't spend MY money on . . . " is pure tea party and you're on a liberal Democratic site.
